About this author

I write funny, tender romance novels for Harlequin Superromance and Love Inspired Historical.

My next book to be released is That New York Minute, out in April 2012.

I like to set aside some of my writing time for experimental projects - I'm currently trying my hand at a humorous women's fiction novel, and I also finished a Young Adult manuscript.

I loved this book - I knew very little about Thomas Cromwell, from whose perspective the story is told, and really enjoyed getting to know this complex character. Gripping!
